Memory Hook
Imagine two sides of a coin: both sides are important. 'Ryo-ho' sounds like 'rye-oh' — think of 'rye bread' split in two, both halves are there! 'Both sides' → 『両方』 (ryouhou, 'both sides').
Cultural Note
In Japanese, 『両方』 (ryouhou) is often used in polite contexts like shopping or negotiations to refer to both options or parties. For example, at a restaurant, you might hear 『両方とも美味しいです』 (ryouhou tomo oishii desu, 'both are delicious').
